Guided Story
Can you feel the history in the air around you? This place was a bustling hub for travelers in the 19th century. Look up and imagine the steam locomotives arriving with their grand whistles. Behind you, towards the old tower of the Jakobuskirche, lived the workers who kept this marvel of engineering running. Did you know that this railway not only carried people but also stories? From industrial pioneers to everyday commuters. And over there, across the river, are the roots of memories of shipbuilders and merchants that made Duisburg a thriving trade city. It's like time has stopped here.
